His project is up for crowdfunding on Mobcaster, where you can redeem rewards for your pledge. That includes anything from gift cards at his restaurants (hey, free sandwich) to a spot at one of his aperitivo parties to a personal pasta making class for one.*

* It's worth noting that unlike some other Kickstarter-type projects, the redeemable rewards aren't cumulative—larger rewards don't include the smaller rewards as well.

Here's a teaser trailer for what the series has in store, with only slightly gratuitous truffle hunting footage...in Tompkins Square Park:

If you're down to contribute, head over to the project page on Mobcaster, which has details on the levels of redeemable rewards. You can also learn more at a fundraiser aperitivo party at Sauce in the East Village this Thursday from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
